Effect of Card Removal in Blackjack
Introduction
The table below illustrates how the player’s expected value changes when one of each specified card is removed from a six-deck shoe. These calculations are based on these conditions: Doubling on any two cards is permitted, doubling after a split is allowed, each card can only be split once, and adjustments to strategy must be made due to changes in deck composition.
